| 8:45pm | My 9/11 Story | | | | As most of you have probably heard many, many times today, today marks the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Being that I'm in New York here on Long Island, I can't help but to write about it. About 500 people from my area died that day, people who were just... | | |
| 10:35am | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 10 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume gets visited (read: possessed) by a youkai who used to play a traditional Japanese instrument called the “koto”. Highlights: Yet another great character-study, and the gender-bending was hilarious too. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Like I mentioned before: the... | | |
| 4:11pm | Haruhi Dance Game Loses Dance, Gains MiniGames | | | | Hey, remember how the blogiverse went all “hey wait what?” when the new Haruhi game for Wii was announced, since the first Wii game– a “Hare Hare Yukai” dance game –isn’t even out yet? Well, the mystery remains unsolved, but Sankaku Complex reports that the... | | |
| 8:39pm | Beginning of Spring Season '08 | | | | Several promising series and a lot of new seasons from older ones. At last, after many barren seasons this one looks really solid! First of all the second part of ef - a tale of melodies finally airs; additionally, the delayed second season of Penguin Musume Heart has already started. Also, there are... | | |
| 8:25am | Birdy the Mighty Decode - 10 | | | | Short Synopsis: Senkawa and Nakasugi go on a date and Natsumi and Muroto go after some rumours about Syamalan. Highlights: Yet another episode that delivers. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 And here I thought that this would be a simple intermezzo, where the series takes a small break, and takes its... | | |
| 7:51pm | Birdy the Mighty: DECODE #10 — Ew! Cooties! | | | | At least look like you’re enjoying frenching a doomsday device, Senkawa. Impressions: What was really amusing about this episode to me was how they couldn’t make up their mind as to how to end the episode, so instead of just focusing on one bad cliffhanger, they gave us three of them.... | | |
| 5:00pm | Autumn series 2008 ~ Where the orange leaves fall | | | | Uu! Uu! Cute girl! And just as we are about to finish summer and bid goodbye to those lovely, sunny rays (for some parts of the world anyway), Autumn is here again to bring us a bucket load of 30-something new series. As usual, summaries can be read from THAT blog whilst I go and copy-pasta their images.... | | |

| 7:40am | Short thoughts on my summer anime (2008.09.02) |  | | | This is NOT a post about anime that aired during the summer, but rather anime I’ve watched during the summer. Let’s skip the chit-chat and walk into this shit. Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural, Aria the OVA ~Arietta~, Aria the Origination - FINISHED - Simply wonderful. Aria is definitely... | | |
| 6:32am | Tooryanse - Cultural tidbits |  | | | It’s no secret; I love anime. I mean, if I didn’t love it, I damn sure wouldn’t be here, right? But sometimes I need to take a step back and ask myself why I love it so much. More specifically, why is anime so frigging addictive? What is it about Japanese animation, compared to Chinese... | | |
| 5:11pm | If at First You Don’t Succeed… | | | | Being a year behind the curve and all, I’m not sure there’s much I can say about ef - a tale of memories that hasn’t already been said. But I’ll say it anyway. Previously, I described the series as “fascinating, but absolutely boring”. I got part of it right, at... | | |
| 4:56am | Neo Angelique: Giving it the Love and Attention it Deserves | | | | It took me quite a while to churn out another Neo Angelique writeup, all because I felt guilty after poking fun at this series in my previous posts. Not only did I insult this anime with my sarcastic comments, I also scared off guys who I should’ve helped become more open-minded about this under-appreciated... | | |
| 7:00pm | Minami-ke season 3?! | | | | Pleasantly surprising news–a third helping of Minami-ke! (Is it just me, or does Touma look strikingly similar to Black Diamond Utau in that image? Mizuki Nana tie-in, or simply coincidence?) I refuse to believe Mako-chan is a trap. It’s like saying the Earth is flat or that Sakura Diaries... | | |
| 10:48pm | Are We Just Gravy? The Importance of American Market to the Japanese |  | | | Japanator’s Dick McVengeance issued a challenge in the comments of his response to my fansub controversy. He wanted to know if the American DVD sales of anime actually meant anything to the Japanese. Was the American market really important to the global anime economy, or were we all just gravy... | | |
| 4:00am | Fall 2008 |  | | | THAT has put up their preview of Fall 2008 anime series, and there sure are a lot of sequels. This time, however, most of the sequels are of series I haven’t watched, so that eliminates a lot of possibilities. I’ll be free to pick up at least 4 series, since everything I’m blogging... | | |
